When it comes to online advertising, Google, Facebook, and Instagram are all major players that cannot be ignored. Let’s take a deeper look at the advertising options on these three platforms and provide some examples for small and medium-sized businesses in Taiwan.
First, there’s Google Ads, which is based on search engine advertising. It allows consumers to see your ads when they search for specific products or services. It can target specific demographics and also optimize ads with keywords to increase click-through rates. For example, a Taiwan-based online store can use the keyword "Taiwan online shopping" to attract Taiwan consumers’ attention. Google Ads also offers various types of ads such as text, display, and video ads to meet different advertising needs. However, due to the high competition, the cost of Google Ads can be relatively high. Additionally, if you are not familiar with the Google Ads system, there is a certain learning curve to successfully use it.
Next, there’s Facebook Ads, which can use a large amount of user data to target specific demographics. For example, a Taiwan-based sports brand can use Facebook user data to find Taiwan consumers between the ages of 20-35 who are interested in sports. In addition to this, Facebook offers a variety of ad formats such as video, live streaming, and ad carousels, which allows for more creative advertising. For example, a Taiwan-based travel company can use Facebook’s live streaming feature to show consumers their Taiwan travel experiences. Additionally, Facebook also offers purchase behavior targeting ads, allowing businesses to advertise to consumers who have already expressed an interest in purchasing, increasing conversion rates.
Finally, there’s Instagram Ads, which is based on image and video ads. It allows businesses to show the appearance and usage of their products. For example, a Taiwan-based beauty brand can use Instagram to show the colors and formulations of their products, attracting consumer attention. Instagram also offers business accounts and business combinations, allowing businesses to better manage and analyze ad data.
In conclusion, Google, Facebook, and Instagram are all excellent online advertising options, but each platform has its own advantages and disadvantages. Choosing the appropriate advertising platform based on business needs and target demographics is crucial.
